Cheng Xi looked at that figure in a daze.
The milk cup held in both hands exudes heat that is neither hot nor cold, and a familiar milky aroma wafts from the mouth of the cup.
The sound of celebrities laughing came from the TV, but at this time, Cheng Xi had no interest and quietly stared at the tall figure washing and chopping vegetables in the kitchen.
He seems to have grown taller again...
I wonder if my height will be the same as it is now when I return to Shenjia Village after my trip here?
It's a question worth thinking about.
[Of course it will be what it is now. How can a person’s growth time go back to the beginning? Theoretically speaking, time is irreversible. This is a law of nature. 】
"Oh, you actually have the nerve to say this?"
Cheng Xi was brought back to reality by Gan Ling's voice, "Who took it upon himself to deduct 100 million interstellar coins to turn back time?"
As a result, she is now forced to pay off the debt.
【......】
I was completely choked by one sentence, and 666 selectively turned off the microphone.
Of course, Cheng Xi couldn't be serious with a little fool whose brain short-circuited from time to time. In fact, if time hadn't turned back, she wouldn't have the life she has now.
"How many supplies have been sold in the supermarket in the past two days?"
[Total 3,587,219 interstellar coins, business is super good~]
What's the use? It's not all used to pay off debts.
Cheng Xi sighed, feeling that there was a long way to go. Compared with selling supplies, it would be better to go out and kill zombies to make money faster.
After all, one head is worth 1,000 interstellar coins.
When the rain stopped, she immediately left the base.
make a fist!
The aroma gradually spread from the kitchen, and Cheng Xi's stomach rumbled again.
She drank the milk in the cup and let the variety show play on the TV. She walked to the kitchen door in a few steps and looked in.
Chen Xingluo's camouflage uniform had long been taken off to reveal the dark blue T-shirt underneath. His white skin was clearly visible, and his posture looked very professional.

"You need to wait a little longer, the ribs are not yet cooked."
"In the oven?"
"Well, it should taste good. I made it according to the recipe."
It can be said that this is the first time that Shen Xingluo cooks so seriously. Before, he would help with barbecue or cook noodles. Fortunately, there is a universal system that can search for recipes with different methods.
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, winter melon and shrimp skin soup, fried meat with garlic sprouts, and boiled lettuce.
Although the color is a bit different - it seems like too much soy sauce was added? — but at least it smells delicious.
"What's the staple food?"
"..."
Cheng Xi saw the very professional chef in front of him freeze in place at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Okay, I know.
***
The heavy rain continued all night.
All the survivors had an uneasy sleep that night. The zombies outside the base wall howled all night long, and the sound was loud.
The survivors at the Central China base no longer choose to go out to search for supplies or perform tasks, but instead wait for something with trembling fear.
The moment the rain stopped, Xu Qingzhou started a carpet patrol with his men armed from head to toe, not sparing any corner of the base to ensure that there were no zombies active.
The next afternoon, news came from the biological laboratory connected to the office building.
"After testing, it was confirmed that the soil has been contaminated, the germination rate is very unlikely, and even if it can grow, it will carry the virus."
“What about the water quality?”
"Except for groundwater, everything that has come into contact with rainwater has been polluted to a certain extent."
Two consecutive pieces of bad news broke down the defense of those in power, and their faces became gloomy again.
On that day, Big Speaker announced a series of measures. From this day on, the wood and water type superpowers in major bases became the most special existence among superpowers.
As an interstellar supermarket that can provide clean water, it has once again become the most dazzling place in the base.
"The mineral water sold today is 10 times the usual amount. How much inventory do we have?"
"There are not many bottled mineral water left, but there are a lot of barrels. At today's rate, we can sell enough for a month."
Cheng Xi thought of the filtration system installed in the drinking water factory and had an idea.
"According to the system, the water and electricity in the villa are unlimited, and we can perform simple filtering ourselves."
"What's so complicated? Just sell tap water."
"..."
Ah, there is actually someone more profiteer than me?
Perhaps because Cheng Xi's eyes were too straightforward, Shen Xingluo twitched the corner of his mouth.
"I mean, even running water is a rarity for survivors, compared to quality inventory."
"understood."
Just sell it cheaper.
Cheng Xi felt that she was doing charity. Originally, mineral water was not expensive. A bottle cost only 10 interstellar coins, which was the same price as instant noodles.
But in any case, it was a business without capital. Since the opening of Interstellar Supermarket, it has never been purchased in the system.
Except for black technology such as defense bracelets.
"I plan to put some vegetables on the special shelf today, what do you think?"
"Okay, those in space grow very fast."
The two of them had a big appetite, and the vegetable garden in the villa area was enough for them. What's more, they had harvested a lot of vegetable seeds in City A, and Chen Xingluo scattered them in the wasteland outside the villa.
If it is allowed to grow wildly for so long, it will become overrun long ago.
Just do it, Cheng Xi told the system to look at the supermarket, then went to the space, picked up the sickle and started to cut it.
Spinach, lettuce, rapeseed...
Complete bagging, loading, and pricing.
Chen Xingluo was responsible for restocking the goods and placed the bottled water in the most eye-catching position.
When another day came, customers entered the Star Supermarket again and were completely attracted by the green color of the shelves.
"That's a vegetable? It's really a vegetable!"
"Oh my God, am I hallucinating? I can actually see vegetables here!"
"There won't be any problem if you eat it, right? Even the base canteen doesn't have such fresh food now!"
"That's right. Most of the ones raised in the base have been soaked by rain. Why are there still them here?"
"I don't care, I haven't eaten vegetables for a long time, I have to eat them today even if I die!"
"Quick, go check out the price!"
Customers rushed forward in droves, eager to pick up the entire special shelf and rush out. The scene was very intense at one time.
It wasn't until the system sounded a warning sound at the right time that he gave up.
After the last incident of causing trouble and being punished, no one dared to act recklessly in the supermarket again.
That is a bloody lesson.
Just when a group of people ran into the Interstellar Supermarket to make purchases, Xu Qingzhou and Mu Cong approached Shen Xingluo and Chen Xingluo again.
At this time, five days had passed since the devastating rain.
"The crystal core purification liquid has been refined."
Xu Qingzhou took out a vial containing blue liquid from his body, "You are right, the material in the meteorite pile can indeed change the shape of the crystal nucleus and further purify it."
When he returned to the base five days ago, Shen Xingluo reminded him that the meteorite pile might be useful.
